Went and did this. I paid little attention to the weather forecast, which was just as well. It was mostly dry, and the wind was kind to me, strengthening on the way home.
Lots of storm debris about, though.

Over on *that* site, local #NI news report how children here are the least physically active in Europe. Precisely 0% cycle to school, and the number of pupils walking has gone down year on year for more than a decade. The majority of primary school pupils are driven.
